I agree🥰 i saw her live... on her bare feet 2m in front of me. It was a magical night. Raining came down with buckets on the tent. But she was so Zen and magical. Unbelieveble
Wonderful! Bruce Molsky is a treasure. Julie Fowlis sings beautifully. And what makes this even more special is the great Phil Cunningham on bouzouki, Ali Bain on second fiddle, and Jerry Douglas on dobro. What a group!
The beginnings of American Bluegrass music are in the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland. And this song is the best example of the Scot/Irish heritage in Bluegrass. It is always good to remember our roots.
Shane Rone Close. It's from the Ulster Scots, who were originally from Ireland. They are the origin of the vast majority of American Traditional music. After being kicked out of Scotland by the English, they lived in Northern Ireland for a few generations before moving on to Appalachia in America.
I pretty much just said the exact same thing on another thread of her "touch the sky" song haha. American bluegrass is totally rooted in Celtic heritage. Im from Nova Scotia in Canada and we hold on to our Celtic roots and play this music all the time. Grew up with fiddle, guitars, pianos, and accordion style Celtic music. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia actually has its on unique style of celtic fiddle playing compared to anywhere else in the world. Love it
Magnificent. In this arrangement and performance, you can really hear the connections and links between Celtic and Old-Time American music. Julie Fowlis is a treasure, and I always love her videos. Bruce Molsky was brilliant as well here.
Their voices blend so well. What a thoroughly delightful rendition. I first came to know Bruce Molsky many years ago in a small golf club in Bathurst, N.S.W., Australia. His songs, his style, his talent, it was all just so unexpected for that part of the world, (small, Aussie, country town that it was), at that time :-) It was a revelation, for me.
I recently heard this song and I ike it very much. Im playing the clawhammer banjo version while listening and find they are going very good together. Iam from Hungary in Europe and very much fond of Anglo-Saxon folk-music. Many thanks for Bruce Molsky. It is very good indeed. And the vocal with Julie Fowlis is graet as well.
Thank you for this. I was told that this song is from the Ozarks. It is wonderful to hear how well their voices carry this song. Fowlis is one of the most beautiful singers I have ever heard. Thanks for this.
For many americans a surname does little to trace heritage. We are a mixed up lot and because of that a lot of history is lost. My family on both sides was here before the revolution and I descend from Scottish, Irish, German, Cherokee Indian and who knows what else! I am proud of my lineage because of how uniquely American it is. At the same time, I sympathize with those like me who can't trace roots to a particular place.
Now my favorite Bruce Molsky on RU-vid. Beautiful singing and instrumentals. Thankful that the technology exists to open this music to a broad audience.
Beautiful tempo so endearing this song and great to find out how old it is..According to a site there is another verse left out that is stunning as well. Such a great assembly of musicians. Looking down the posts I am astonished that people want it played faster it is perfect here. Guess they are used to bluegrass where everything is speed up. This is a dance tempo not a fast clogging song. They must be real young
HEADSUPBERKELEY I wish my breast were made of glass wherein you might behold Upon my heart your name lies wrote in letters made of gold In letters made of gold my love, believe me when I say You are the one that I will adore until my dying day
Here's an even slower version, Red Tail Ring are blessed with perfect pitch. Allows them to slow it to a crawl. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4wRnDa7GdzQ.html
It was great and pleasant to hear, and Julie made it more amazing! I like the combination of their voice... I play this song again and again, and I'll never get bored of listening to it.
I have to get the dvd or cd of this song . They are just great together;all of them . I found Bruce through his friend connection to Kate Rusby's myspace page. Now I wonder if I judged him at a local fiddle contest in Roxbury Ct some years back .. Funny .Thanks for up loading this .. Guy
OMG - that was absolutely gorgeous!! I've loved this song for a long time. I decided it was time to introduce this tune to my Irish band, so I happened upon your video while looking for the lyrics. Thanks so much for uploading this video. That said, now I'm going to listen to it again.
I feel so lucky to have happened upon this vid. Bruce and Julie's voices are like drones on a fiddle. And the stellar talent that plays along! Jerry Douglas must be about the busiest dobro player around. Second only to Aly Bain on his violin. Yum.
I first heard this Amazing song on A CD by the Epic Fiddler /Musician Laurie Lewis simply called "Birds"and I just fell stoned in Love with it.. it is so much slower than this and haunting.. I do adore this version of this Song.. what a great tempo and honest feel..the Voices are such a great fit! Gramercy and True resonance in Love and Music to all OXOX
